No Foolin' - Celebrating Favorite Songs of Foolishness

3/31/2021

0 Comments

 

Let's be honest - April Fool's Day jokes aren't often met with much enthusiasm. But fooling around has frequently been a smart choice when it comes to music. Here, we list a few favorites - having some fun with tunes that range from the rock-bottom somber variety to the extremely not-so-much. Feel free to comment with your own suggestion for tunes of tomfoolery below! (A note: this list does lend to an essentially endless amount of cover/other versions not covered here, so please keep that in mind). -TCC

In no particular order.


  • "Statue of a Fool" (multiple, most notably Jack Greene, Jack Greene with Jeannie Seely and gorgeously by Ricky Van Shelton) 
  • "One of a Kind Pair of Fools" (Barbara Mandrell)
  • "Only Fools Rush In" (Elvis) 
  • "Cool to Be a Fool" (Joe Nichols)
  • "The Fool" (Lee Ann Womack)
  • "Foolish Pride" (Travis Tritt)
  • "What Kind of Fool Do You Think I Am?" (Lee Roy Parnell)
  • "Fools Like Us" (Sherrie Austin) 
  • "Some Fools Never Learn" (Steve Wariner)
  • "Alright Guy" (Todd Snider, writer and performer and also recorded and performed expertly by Gary Allan). Okay, so it doesn't *technically* use the term but it's implied and besides. Always love me some Gary Allan. 
  • "Love's Made a Fool of You" (Buddy Holly)
  • "Fooled Around and Fell in Love" (Elvin Bishop, recently covered in a 2020 ACM Award winning collab for Music Event of the Year by Miranda Lambert, Caylee Hammack, Elle King, Ashley McBryde, Maren Morris and Tenille Townes)
  • "No Foolin'" (Lesley Gore, I'm Coolin', No Foolin' - YouTube)
  • "Fool's Progress" (Clint Daniels) ​
  • "Same Old Fool" (Dolly Parton) 
  • "Fool's Paradise" (Buddy Holly)
  • "Foolish Games" (Jewel, not country, but she DID try her hand at a country career) 
  • "Foolin'" (Def Leppard)
  • Bit of a stretch maybe, but last/not least will be "Unwound" ('cause he's "the drunkest fool in town"). That's a wrap!

    About

    Hi. I'm a member of the country club. Country Music is what I love.  

    ​Are you somewhere that you don't belong? Without a jukebox and a country song? Maybe you came here seeking a nice, bright, sunny, resort-y kind of place. The kind of place festooned with ferns. Maybe this was even your LAST resort. We hope not. But don't worry, we still have the best of intentions with this blog - you might not find a lot of tennis but we still intend to raise a racket now and then. (In other words --- although you will sometimes find press releases here we net ORIGINAL content too).
